1.Write an article discussing why your nation is involved in World War I- My country isRussia. Russia was involved in World War 1, Because the joined into the war to help Serbian defeat Austria-Hungary and Germany. Then our troops became mobilized, then Germany declared war on us. After that we asked France to help and they gave us full support, I hate that this all started because of the assassination of Archducke Franz Ferdinand of Austria- Hungary.
2.Write an article reacting to the assassination of Archducke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary-
The assassination of Archducke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, is the reason this whole thing started. Then everyone stepped in to help other countrys. Like how we stepped in to help Serbian defeat Austria-Hungary. The assassination is the reason millions of men got killed, and why World War 1, was so big! When we helped Serbian, Germany wanted to declare war on us. After that happened France joined in and gave us full support. None of this would of happened if the assassination of Archducke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary didn't happen.

Which ended our participation in fighting in World War I. We had been hit hard for three years now. Stories of incompetent generals destroyed public confidence

I miss my family and friends. Especailly my wife and kids. I wish I was with them right now. I'd do anything to see my wife's beautiful face, or my kids laughter. I wish I could be with them tonight, and be able to hold each and everyone of them in my arms. I hope they are thinking the same thing. They're everything to me. I hope they are missing me as much as I am missing them. I can't wait to be able to see them again.

I miss resting in bed at home. Here I never sleep, im always fighting. I just can't wait until this is all over. And I can sleep quietly next to my wife, and watch my kids grow.

4.Write poems, songs, raps, etc. that capture the emotion of your experience fighting in World War 1- World War 1,
was a battle that we never won.
We got attacked but,
we got them all back.
I wish we wouldn't of bailed out,
we could of won the war, and stopped the shout.
The thing i will never forget was the feeling i got,
everytime i heard another shot.
It was the worst time of my life,
but i wouldn't change one thing, not even for my own wife.
Week 3-
1.Report on how soliders from your nation spent Christmas during the war-
My nation (RUSSIA) spent war not to peacefully, lets just say we didn't spent Christmas Day the same way everyone else did. The two things I got was a card from my wife Natalee with $5.00 dollars, enough to last me a couple months. Don't know what i'll spend it on but, maybe i'll find something to spend it on. I was hoping to buy my kids something and wife. We hunted buffalo to eat for dinner that night. It took about 28 buffalos to feed everyone and actually be able to get them full. Usually, we didn't make sure everyone was full. We were just lucky to be eating something. But, since it was christmas we made sure everyone was full.
Week 4-
1.Write an article discussing your nation's reaction to the terms of the Treaty Of Versailles-
My nation, Russia. There reaction to the terms of the Treaty Of Versailles was shocking, because they thought someone would actually win the world war 1 but no one did, everyone just signed a treaty. Which of course was the Treaty Of Versailles that ended the war. Russia was already out of the war when everyone signed it. So, everyone pretty much gave it all up. Which was also a very good thing but bad. Once again good because the war was ended and everyone was safely home and bad because everyone pretty much wasted there time on it, and so many lives were lost.

1.Discuss your personal feelings as to what it was like to return home. Report on the overall feeling of morale for your town, as well as, how well you were received back into "normal" life-
Well, my nation, russia of course. Came home early. I liked in many ways, but hated it in some other ways. Like, I wanted to continue to fight for my country and prove them all wrong. But, again I wanted to come home and see my beautiful wife, kids, and all of my friends. I wish I was home with my beautiful wife and kids. It was hard to get back to the "normal" life. I hated not fighting for the ones I love. But, I loved being able to eat a meal whenever I wanted, and wake up to my wife's beautiful face every morning and seeing my kids laugh. It was nice. But, I felt like I was doing it all for free. Which I hated knowing. I loved knowing that when I was fighting for all paid off when I came home. I'm very glad to be home finally with them though. I just wish we were the ones that won the war, so all of our hard work paid off that way too.
